Circadian rhythms in human fat tissue study
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body's internal clock affects fat tissue. It compares people with different BMIs to understand how circadian rhythms work in fat cells.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your BMI must be either 20-25 or 30-37.
- If you have obesity, your waist-to-hip ratio must be at least 0.95 (men) or 0.90 (women).
- You must be mostly sedentary (not regularly active).
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding (for women).
- You cannot have insomnia, sleep apnea, or use sleep medications.
- You cannot work night shifts or have extreme sleep patterns.

This study looks at how fat cells change in people with obesity. It involves a small tissue sample (biopsy) and may help us understand more about weight-related health.
This study looks at how fat cells in the belly release fat. Researchers want to learn more about fat breakdown in people who are overweight or obese. If you join, you may get a drug that helps them measure fat activity.
This early-phase trial tests how fat tissue in different parts of the body responds to insulin. It may help researchers understand why some people with obesity are more prone to health problems like diabetes or heart disease.
This study looks at how the timing of meals (and daily timing habits) affects your body’s natural clock and related health measures. It involves healthy, generally low-risk participants and may help researchers understand how timing affects metabolism and sleep.
This study looks at how your body's internal clock affects muscle rhythms and metabolism. You will stay in a lab for a day while we take small muscle samples and measure your sleep, activity, and responses to a local anesthetic.
This research study examines fat tissue samples taken during abdominal surgery to understand how the body controls fat cell growth and function. Researchers are comparing samples from people with and without obesity and diabetes to learn more about these processes.
